individual academics, people with lived experience of suicide, cultural knowledge holders, and leaders in suicide prevention

This collaborative approach has helped us to make sure that LifeKeepers is community focussed, clinically safe, and culturally responsive, and that it fits in with suicide prevention services and initiatives across Aotearoa New Zealand.

We’d like to especially acknowledge the wise guidance of Professor Sir Mason Durie whose input and oversight has been invaluable to the development of the LifeKeepers programme, particularly in relation to being responsive to Maori communities.
